Australia coach John Buchanan was quoted as saying before the one-dayers got underway:

"We want to get England in disarray before the World Cup"

I think they, and latterly New Zealand, have achieved that. England have won just one match on their tour down under so far, and that was against an under-strength NZ team! Since then they've barely posted a decent total and haven't looked like wining any of the matches, KP has broken a rib and they are missing him, and the team changes every five seconds!

England don't try and blast the ball like the others, especially in the powerplay overs when they need to, and consequently are always struggling to post totals to compete with the others.

Ha and as soon as I say that, England look like finally beating australia!

AND THEY DID IT!!! :yahoo:

10th time of asking, but are england beginning to find some form? V. Encouraging if so, with Pietersen, Hoggy etc. to come back for the world cup too! :D
